As a board certified family physician, I practice pediatrics, adolescent care, internal medicine and gynecology. I offer same day appointments for the following services: vaccinations, annual physicals, gynecological exams, pap smears, STD screening, TB and lab testing, travel advice, osteopathic manipulation, pre-employment and school forms, smoking cessation and specialist referrals. I strive to provide high quality comprehensive holistic care to all my patients. I hope to see you soon.
Dr. Tun-Chiong and her office were pleasant and knowledgable. She took time to listen to all my concerns and gave me holistic and dietary advice on top of the routine medical practices. She is practical and friendly and her office is very clean.
She took time to hear my concerns! She's awesome. Very professional.
I've never had a doctor spend that much time with me talking about my health. She is a rare doctor. Very good.
Dr. Tun-Chiong was a wonderful experience (other than the wait!) She is gentle and considerate, and really takes the time to talk to you about any medical concerns and your overall health lifestyle. The lobby of the building kind of smells like Chinese food but it's funny cuz the second you walk into the medical office, it goes away. And it feels very clean and modern - unlike the last gyn I went to. Also definitely KNOW your insurance before going. The front desk girls asked me for a copay for my annual pap and physical, and then when I said I thought my insurance has no copay for those - they clarified that the copay is only is I want to discuss sicknesses beyond the annuals. Had I not said anything though I would have been paying ... that being said, as long as you know your insurance, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Tun-Chiong.
Warm and thorough. I am so happy to find her.
I really enjoyed Dr. Tun-Chiong. She was super nice and really easy to talk with. My visit was pleasant and the staff was really nice and attentive as well.
I was only the second patient of the day, so there was no wait before the doctor saw me. This was my first visit, so I gave a standard medical history, but the doctor made it into more of a conversation. The doctor did not seem to be simply going through the motions. And the doctor and staff were quick (taking blood was efficient and painless); I was in-and-out in 30 minutes.
What a thoughtful, kind soul. She answered all of my questions and did not rush me. She explained everything clearly and went point by point through my lab results, making sure I understood what it meant and what my next action step was. I felt her commitment to getting to my health.
Dr. Tun-Chiong asked follow up questions and seemed sincerely interested in getting a full overview of what was going on from a health standpoint, rather than going through the routine motions of a checkup. She was easy to talk to and explained everything clearly and conversationally.
Dr. Tun-Chiong was very friendly and professional. She listened to my concerns and addressed them all, and offering for me to follow up on certain issues whenever I chose. I'm so excited to finally see a doctor I like and trust!
Great consultative approach, helpful advice and high level of expertise dealing with other specialists.
I thought the visit was relaxing. Although there were a lot of people coming in for check ups after me, Dr. Tun-Chiong did not rush my check up and gave me great advice. Her assistants were very friendly and helpful to each other and overall it was a nice experience.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is a phenomenal doctor with excellent bedside manner. She was professional and friendly and gave me digestible explanations and actionable advice. I felt totally at ease as she made sure I understood everything she was doing/saying. I definitely recommend going to her! My entire visit was a smooth and pleasant experience.
It was my first appointment with her and felt comfortable right away. She didn't make me feel rushed at all and took time to answer all my questions. She's just "cool." :)
Her bedside manner is fantastic. Her staff was friendly and professional. Very informative and answered all my questions and addressed any concerns I had.
Dr. Yolanda Tun-Chiong is wonderful and caring Family doctor.
The location is weird- in the middle of Chinatown, but Dr. Tun-Chiong is so great its worth it.
She is an excellent Provider. I highly recommend her.
I am such a big baby when it comes to going to the doctor but Dr. Tun-Chiong was patient and such a pleasure to work with. She didn't make me feel rushed and took her time out to talk to me about health and general issues. I think I found my primary doctor for life!
She is literally the most thoughtful and concerned primary care physician I have ever had.
Excellent. Dr. Tun-Chiong was very thorough and professional and has a great bedside manner. I will definitely keep returning to her. I highly recommend her as a primary care physician.
Dr. Tun-Chiong was great and very personable but do expect delays.
Fantastic! Everyone was exceptionally friendly, competent, and kind.
She is the best doctor I've ever seen!
It went great. She was really nice and made me feel comfortable. Talk the whole way thru, and explained to me everything.
Dr. Yolanda was great. Smart, kind and seemed to care holistically about my health and my objectives for being there. The front office staff was "meh." I waited for about an hour before seeing the doctor without much updating from the office. Torn on this review - wish the "process" to see the doctor was as good as she was.
Professional and personable - perfect combination.
Immediately put me to ease, knew exactly which tests to administer, and answered all of my questions. Best doctor's experience I've ever had.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Tun-Chiong! She is everything I've always wanted in a physician. When I have concerns, she listens. When I have crazy questions, she is thoughtful with her answers. When I know something is wrong but can't pinpoint the problem, she happily sits down with me to dig down and find an answer. So many doctors in my life have been dismissive of my questions or concerns and this is the first doctor I've ever been to who genuinely cares and makes you feel heard. As long as I am in NYC she will be my primary care doctor and I recommend her to as many people as possible!!
I have found my primary care physician! After living in this city for quite some time, its so nice to find a doctor that you can feel comfortable with right from the start. Within seconds of my appointment I felt at ease and cared for. Dr. Tun-Chiong was incredibly friendly, attentive and knownledgable. The whole experience was refreshing and pleasant. Overwhelmingly pleased.
It can take a while to get an appointment (Yolanda is very popular) but for good reason. She is very professional, helpful and explains everything very well. I'm Australian so I don't have a great understanding of the US healthcare system, so Yolanda took extra time to explain how everything works here. I can't recommend her enough.
It was great.
She and her staff are wonderful, personable and patient.
I loved my whole experience today. She really makes you feel comfortable and welcome, i felt like i have been her patient for a long time. Everything was done very quickly and i waited maybe about 10-15 mins before she saw me. I highly recommend Doctor Yolanda.
Dr. Tun-Chiong was great! Very easy to talk to and a good listener. I never felt rushed. The staff was very friendly and the office was very nice. Bonus: great banh mi sandwich shop across the street.
Awesome doctor, great bedside manner/very approachable.
Warm, caring doctor & easy to talk to. Did not feel rushed. Very efficient office.
She's always very kind and professional.
She was great. Thoughtful, took a big-picture approach to talking about my health rather than homing in on just a few symptoms.
Excellent! She really takes the time to listen to patients' needs.
There was an emergency, so although the wait was longer than usual I was totally fine and understood. Dr. Yolanda is really great, I'm really happy to have found her - friendly and professional!
She's the best! She cares about her patients and it shows.
Absolutely great! She listens to your actual concerns and doesn't dismiss them. I love meeting with her. I've had appointmwnts with the physician assistants as well and they're just as great. I recommend this practice to everyone!
Staff and doctor were friendly and helpful. She was patient, informative, and put me at ease. I look forward to having her as my primary physician.
I was actually on a phone call with my other doctor when she came into the room and felt horribly disrespectful. She was so nice about it all. From there, she ran through all my travel vaccines in depth and informed me in depth on all of them. Would recommend!
She is amazing! I was a hour late because I got lost and the doctor still saw me. Not only did she still see me, but also she gave me as much time as I needed and never rushed me. I loved her! I almost hugged her at the end of the visit. I would definitely recommend her.
She is my favorite doctor in NYC.
Dr. Tun-Chiong was phenomenal! She was professional and made me feel like she truly cares about my health/well-being. She and her staff were exceptionally efficient. Highly recommended.
Dr. Tun-Chiong and her techs were all lovely. Unfortunately, I waited close to 2 hours to be seen, which is beyond my wait threshold for a doctor's visit. Because of the great visit however, I will look to return a few more times before I can rule out that this is something to be expected.
I waited over and hour in the office which seemed long but not unbearable. Ultimately, the staff and especially Dr. Tun-Chiong were incredibly wonderful and easy to talk to. My sister referred this doctor to me and I have no regrets.
When seeing the doctor its a great experience. She doesn't rush and takes the time to look into your problems and needs and offers sound solutions.
It was my first visit to her office. All the staff was very friendly and took care of me right away. Dr Tun-Chiong is a great professional and very easy to talk to. I am very happy with my choice to make her my primary care dr.
I love Dr Yolanda!
Both Dr. Yolanda Tun-Chiong and the physician assistant Lena are excellent. They take time to listen and to talk through treatment.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is the best doctor I've ever had. She is an excellent doctor and she is a wonderful person. Her communication skills are superb. Her staff are excellent too. A+++
I loved my visit. She and the P.A. were both very helpful and caring, making sure that they listened to what was wrong, what I wanted, etc. I'm happy I found such a great doctor.
Awesome and caring doctor!
Yolanda always takes her time with us.
My visit was pretty fantastic, it felt as if I've known doctor chiong for a while. I recommend her to anyone, I believe she can make anyone feel comfortable. Besides her, the girls who work in the office were very nice as well.
It was a great experience. Friendly and understood. I am happy to now have a primary care provider.
I was very happy with my visit with Dr. Tun-Chiong. The office was short-staffed today so the wait was a bit lengthy but I was not pressed for time and the waiting room was a pleasant place to sit.
I always love my visits with Dr. Tun-Chiong. The only bad side is the wait.
Really great staff! Friendly, efficient! And of course Dr. Yolanda was just as amazing. After going through my family history, she brought up a few extra tests that most would probably not bother to do during a yearly check up unless prompted too. Explained everything as well as printed some additional information for me. I will definitely come back. :) Thank you!
Yolanda is a very down-to-earth woman, who is easy to talk to and relate to. I knew I made the right choice for her as my primary care doctor when she told me she likes to understand the nutritional aspects of her patients habits, and suggests they have a well rounded diet rather than rely on supplements. Moreover, Yolanda's PA, Leena (spelling? Sorry!), was an all around pleasure. She took the pain and anxiety away from blood work. Thank you!
Dr Yolanda and her staff are great! Very attentive, caring, and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
Great! I appreciated that she listened to me and didnt judge my responses to her questions :) She apologized for the wait so it was no worries.
Everyone I interacted with in the office was an absolute delight! And Yolanda herself is really up-front and genuine. I felt like I could trust her from the second she started talking. I'm so glad ZocDoc pointed me in her direction!
The office was very clean and modern, very tech savvy. I love that they printed an itemized receipt. The wait in the waiting room was about 10min. The wait in the exam room was about 2min! Amazing. Dr. Tun Chiong was very personable and approachable. She was also very efficient and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend. Very happy to have her as my primary care doctor.
Yolanda is a lovely lovely woman and very knowledgable doctor. She made me feel like we were old friends and just chatting as opposed to a actual meeting. Adored her.
Dr. Tun-Chiong was very friendly when I met with her. She talks to you on a very causal manner and is very polite. Her office is a convenient walk from the Subway and only had to wait about 15 minutes past my appointment time to see her. Overall, a very good experience and will probably be using her again.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is really great. She took the time to really get to know me as a person, and to give me some advice on medications and procedures. Highly recommended!
Amazinggggg!!! As always!
I have been seeing Dr Yolanda for a few years, and she is hands down the best physician I've ever had in my half century on the planet. She is scary smart, but the nicest most approachable human being you will ever meet. I could write pages about what a great doctor she is, but hopefully I've made the point.
Yolanda is a very warm, professional and intelligent Doctor. She's just a busy as any other Doctor yet she takes the time to speak to you about your medical care and includes makes you a part of the decision process. Great Doctor for women.
She is such a sweet, nice and caring doctor. Makes you feel so comfortable!
Very clean and welcoming office. Helpful staff. Great conversation with Dr. Tun-Chiong who was patient, clear, and genuinely interested in my experiences as they relate to the underlying issue. Definitely going back!
Dr. Tun-Chiong was amazing. She was very personable, efficient, and thorough. I never felt rushed or talked down to. I high recommend her to everyone.
She's a very kind and patient doctor, very professional and not at all judgemental.
Best ever.
Loved it. She is so wonderful.
Very thorough examination.
Warm and professional as usual. Just had to wait a bit as I was five minutes late.
Best doctor ever.....
Dr. Tun-Chiong is very professional, kind and does everything with such care. I felt right at home with her and appreciate her taking the time to get to know me as her patient. She is a very rare gem. A phenomenal physician.
She is very warm and pleasant. Very knowledgeable. An absolute blessing to have as a Doctor.
Dr. Yolanda is a very good doctor! ... I will never forget my first visit with her, once i started talking to her and explaining the different situations I was having she started telling me my health history before I could even tell her! That is a good doctor, also the other two doctors Larissa and Lena are really good too just in case you can not get Dr. Yolanda they are really good.
She is friendly and gives LOTS of personalized attention. Hard to find that attentiveness elsewhere.
I feel like this is a doctor I can trust.
I LOVE Dr. Yolanda. I wish I still lived in NYC as I would otherwise never leave her care!
Dr.Tun-Chiong and her PA- Larissa are both amazing! They are so professional yet they create a friendly atmosphere and put the patient at ease. Both very knowledgable, patient and answer all your questions. Great team!
Loved it very kind and understanding.
Doctor Tun-Chiong is very helpful, she was able to answer all of my questions and makes it easy to get test results.
Excellent! She made conversation with me throughout the whole time and she was friendly and efficient. Her staff was professional and kind as well.
Great experience. Professional, knowledgable, and friendly.
The wait was ridiculous, but Dr. Tun-Chiong apologized profusely saying that it's never like this, which is true according to my friends who highly recommended her. In the end it was worth the wait, she was wonderful and knowledgeable. Even with a waiting room full of people, I didn't feel rushed, and she took her time to talk to me and explain things. Very much adored her.
She is a wonderful doctor. She lives up to her amazing reputation. She made me feel like I was consulting with a friend. She showed a genuine interest in my health and my over all well being. She took her time with me and listened to all of my concerns. I am so blessed to have such a great doctor! I am looking forward to future appointments. Btw her staff members are equally as lovely and make you feel so welcomed. I highly recommend her!!!
Dr. Yolanda is the best internist. She really makes sure to take a look at your entire health and asked me questions that no doctors really seemed to take the time to ask when I see her. She is very thorough and is one of the reasons I'm still alive today. When I was diagnosed with a serious condition that made me go to a specialist she made sure to continue to check in on me. I have also recommended at least 10 of my friends to see her and every single one of them have loved her.
The exam and advices given were very thorough. Ample time was spent on all aspects of the checkup including questions asked.
Dr Tun-Chiong was very friendly,upbeat and knowledgeable! My kind of doctor! Will stay with her and I highly recommend her.
She made me feel very comfortable. She's very friendly. I've gone to her twice already. Both times I've waited under an hour. She's apologized for the wait both times. I'd definitely recommend her.
She was very nice and professional. She is personable, and makes conversation to distract you from the needle going in your arm.
Being my first time with her, and looking for a new primary care physician, she seems great. I did wait a while before being seen by Dr. Tun-Chiong, and she seemed somewhat rushed towards the end of our time. But she seemed very approachable and straight forward. Also, the walls in the office are paper-thin, I could hear conversations in the next room while I was waiting for my turn.
Great experience!
She was great! Knew her stuff and was very professional!
It was very good and worth the wait, but I would recommend going early to avoid any backup. Also, everyone in the staff is so nice and friendly.
Excellent! Very personable and patient. Listens to all your concerns and works with you to address them point by point. Explains!!! Great doctor overall.
dr. yolanda tun-chiong was so down-to-earth; i felt at ease within the first couple minutes of meeting her. would definitely recommend. the receptionists/physician assistants were also friendly and efficient.
I love Dr. Tun-Chiong. She's always caring and listens. She's never judgmental, but she's honest.
Dr. Tun-Chiong was very professional and extremely friendly. She answered all my questions and concerns and made me feel very comfortable. It is nice to finally find a doctor that I can not feel insecure when dealing with medical issues!
She was personable, friendly and answered all of my questions.
very caring, intuitive and interested in your full health as a person. The modern offices were a breath of fresh air.
she is the best gynecologist I've ever had!
Wonderful as usual.
Despite the long wait which they apologized for several times I had a lovely experience. Yolanda Tun-Chiong, DO spoke to me like I was another person rather than talking down to me like I am used to experiencing with other doctors. She addressed all of my concerns and questions in a real, sympathetic and methodical manner. Highly highly recommended.
She consistently provides excellent, comprehensive care and offers helpful feedback and answers questions in a timely manner. Her office staff is also efficient and responsive. She possesses the combination of being very comforting and extremely smart.
Dr. Yolanda continues to be the best. She takes a lot of time to go through everything you have a concern about, and always encourages you to follow up with her if you need to. She's always been great about returning my phone calls or emails. 4 of my friends now go to Yolanda!
Dr. Tun-Chiong put me at ease and made the appointment extremely relaxed, comfortable, and enjoyable. She was incredibly thorough and followed up on everything she promised to follow up on. I would highly recommend her.
Finally a great GP! I have been on the hunt for a DO forever and I am so happy to have found Dr. Tun-Chiong. She is very thorough and great with follow-up. Her staff is professional and attentive. It's also great patients are setup with their own PHR account. Highly recommend.
Always lovely and highly proficient.
Thorough, sweet, genuine, helpful, and brilliant. What else can anyone ask for in a doctor? I can't recommend her enough.
After doing extensive research to find a primary care doctor, I decided to go with Dr. Tun-Chiong based on her excellent Zoc Doc reviews. I must say, my entire experience from the moment I walked thru the front door far surpassed my expectations. The office/wait area is clean, updated, professional and comfortable. The beautiful ladies behind the front desk was attentive and thorough in answering my questions regarding the legal and privacy forms I had to sign. When I saw the physician's assistant who took my vitals, she was also attentive and patient and informative on all the tests that was being done. Felt like she was knowledgable and informative. When Dr. Tun-Chiong sat down to go over my concerns, she was thorough in her responses and even able to empathize with me on certain concerns. I love when doctors take their time to explain things, educate you, approach their daily practice with a human heart and empathetic bedside manner. And what excellent communication skills everyone had in the office. I'm a of a hypersensitive nervous-nelly when it comes to medical offices and my health. I love how every step of the way from beginning to end, I felt completely comforted and assured of my concerns. I also love that they have an online system that I can check in to see updates on my tests results. Being a business owner myself, I understand the importance of the client experience. Dr. Tun-Chiong and her staff have got it down to a science. I am so grateful to have found her and look forward to having her around especially when I am ready to start a family.
She is incredibly sweet and thorough. She gets up close and personal with you sitting right next you, looks at you and touches your face to see what is exactly wrong with you. I was her first time patient but she made me feel like she's known me for years. I know how to pick them.
Dr Yolanda has been my doctor for 6 years and I recommend her to everyone!
She is simply amazing! As well as her entire staff and office at Urban Medical Group. Even though I live in Brooklyn and work way uptown I come down here because it's so comfortable and such a supportive environment.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is the BEST PCP I've had. She not only listens to my concerns, but tries to work with me to figure out the problem and a solution. She gives great advice and I've never felt rushed out of her office like I have with other doctors. She's compassionate and caring-- how a doctor SHOULD be.
My first appointment with Dr. Yolanda was greater then I expected! From the beginning when I arrived the woman upfront was very nice and warm to me going in the back seeing the doctor. Doctor Yolanda is a very thorough, in detail doctor and she cares about her patient. She knows what she's talking about and explains things well enough so you could understand and talks to well. I told Doctor Yolanda about my symptoms, right away she poked at what the causes could be and sure enough she was right ! I LOVE HER ! ?
Dr. Tun-Chiong was great as usual. So glad to have such an understanding, down to earth, and efficient doctor!
She is so friendly and professional. Made me feel very relaxed. The wait wasn't bad at all either. It was a very pleasant experience overall.
She's great, really easy to talk to, warm, friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Dr. Tun-Chiong :)
She is amazing. While there is always a little wait even when you have a booked appointment, it is worth it - Dr Tun-Chiong is thorough, compassionate and doesn't leave anything to change. Very thorough and I highly recommend her.
Fantastic doctor with fantastic nurses. She was so helpful and thoughtful. Everyone really took the time to listen and get to know me. The office was beautiful and meticulously clean. It's such a relief to find a great doctor in NY!
Excellent experience. I have recommended this office to my colleagues.
She is really informative and provides all the details you want to know.
Everyone in the office was very friendly and professional. I feel like I got a lot of time and attention from the doctor, and she seemed to care about my health.
She is a wonderful & caring doctor who is willing to spend time explaining with you.
Yolanda is a great physician. Excellent manner - speedy and efficient.
She is ever professional and her staff also very professional. I waited a little longer than I expected but there was an emergency with a baby, so obviously that takes precedence over a routine checkup. More than that, I really do get the sense that she does care of each of her patients.
She is my family doctor and I visited her when I had the flu. She was quick and efficient with a great bedside manner. Great interpersonal skills.
Thorough and knowledgeable with a friendly and compassionate demeanour.
Always the best!
Dr. Tun-Chiong was so personable and thorough. Although things were running behind schedule the day of my appointment, she did not rush our consultation. She had me sit next to her while we spoke so we were at eye level, which I really appreciated. She was very proactive in asking questions and recommending things I hadn't previously thought about. She also gave me options to think about for the future concerning my long-term health. All around a great doctor!
Dr. Tun-Chiong is a very professional, caring, and thorough doctor. She's easy to talk to and very personable. I dont feel judged when talking to her about very personal matters (which unfortunately wasn't the case with a previous gyn). The office is very clean and looks modern, and her staff are all very professional and thorough as well. Wait time was only 5 minutes. For a previous appointment, I saw one of her physician's assistants, and she was great, helpful, and communicated clearly. Dr. Tun-Chiong and her office are wonderful!
I've been bouncing around from Doctor to doctor since I moved to NYC 10 years ago looking for anyone who would not treat me like I was another 5 minute increment on their schedule and would take the time to actually look at the medical history that I took the time to fill out. Eureka! I've found her! She's awesome, chill, comforting, and personable. She doubles as a primary care doc as well as a Doc of Obstetrics. She is GREAT.
I love this doctor and this doctor's office.She was very polite, caring, and sweet. Took her time and payed close attention to everything she was told. The physicians assistant Larissa is amazing as well. It's very clean and everyone is very respectful. The wait time is not long at all, and you can usually get an appointment within the same week if you have an emergency.
Dr. Tun-Chiong was fantastic. She was very friendly, did not rush through the appointment, explained what she did and why clearly, and made me feel comfortable. I liked the office and the staff. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is an awesome doctor. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
she's the best period.
she is perfect, strongly suggested!
Dr. Tun-Chiong was professional, thoughtful and caring. I would highly recommend her.
I find her to be GREAT she is very informative and she caring as a provider. I recommend her.
Good Dr, seemed very knowledgable, and communicated clearly. Front desk however wasn't very nice, and i waited almost an hour to be seen.
Every time I see her or the PA I feel as though I am in caring and knowledgeable hands. I never feel uncomfortable and feel as though I am one of their family. Travel all the way from south Brooklyn to see these amazing professionals.
Yolanda was one of the best physicians I've ever seen. She's attentive, personable, and genuinely cares about your well being.
She was so helpful and nice. She also listened to my crazy medical theories and took me seriously. The office was so clean and hi tech. I am also eternally grateful that she was able to take my blood with only one try. I have notoriously hard veins and it is usually a painful and long process.
My appointment was fast and efficient. Dr. Yolanda Tun-Chiong and her staff were very warm and answered my questions. I definitely recommend her.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is one of the most personable doctors I've ever seen. She is so friendly and professional, I feel completely comfortable asking her all sorts of questions. All of her staff members are respectful and judgment free when taking patient info (I'm bisexual and I've been discriminated at other doctor's offices when disclosing my sexual history). I highly recommend her to all my friends!
Amazing! Kind and perfect
Dr. Tun-Chiong was professional, quick, and had a great bedside manner. She took the time to get to know me as a person and to answer all my questions. I love that I can see her for my basic GYN appointments as well as for my regular physicals. Wait time was minimal and the staff was friendly.
Very nice and very helpful doctor. Glad to have an excellent doctor.
very professional and very high tech office. I felt very comfortable.
Amazing. Super kind, warm, very good experience.
She is an AMAZING doctor ! Not like most doctors, Dr. Tun-Chiong would even make sure that we wouldn't get overcharged by insurance and would conduct exams and labs accordingly. She's the best doctor I've ever had!
She is amazing!
Overall, my experience wasn't great. She is nice and shows concern, however I'm not fond of the way her staff speaks to me as a patient
Very nice, courteous, and helpful. She was able to answer all my questions, and never made me feel rushed.
She made me feel comfortable and safe as a patient.
Yolanda was very thorough and totally personable, listening to everything I said and also making it very easy for me to be open about all of my health concerns. Very easy to get along with, so glad I've found my doctor!
Dr. Tun-Chiong was very thorough and listened to all my concerns. The staff was personable and very helpful.
Very kind, explained procedures and asked detailed questions. She also was very patient.
Amazing! She thoroughly explains things and seems to be genuinely concerned for her patients.
Great visit, front desk should probably check the sign in book more often, i waited 15 mins before being asked if I was waiting for someone..... Overall good place.
I am very happy to have picked her as my new PCP. I haven't seen a PCP in over four years due to being unemployed and uninsured so I was a little nervous. She's friendly, a good listener, and I feel completely comfortable around her. I also appreciate that she can be reached online which makes it very easy and comfortable for me to communicate through. Her office is very clean and the staff are also very nice, professional, and best of all, they can SPEAK good English!! Overall, I'm very happy with my experience on my first visit and I look forward to seeing Dr. Tun-Chiong more in the future.
She's a great doctor. Friendly and an excellent listener. Very happy with her.
Wait time wasn't great, but my experience with Dr. Tun-Chiong was so wonderful, I didn't mind. Also, she took the time to explain the long wait time to me: the blizzard in NYC last weekend meant they had to reschedule a lot of patients and so their schedule was more booked than normal. She prescribed some medication for me that she thought I would need since I'm traveling abroad soon, and she took her time making sure that every possible medical alternative was discussed. I felt very comfortable discussing everything with her, and felt really cared for. 5 stars!
I have been looking to find a Dr. like Dr. Yolanda Tun-Chiong. She is so thorough and caring. And she has amazing bedside manner. It's hard to find a Dr. that cares this day and age. I highly recommend her.
I liked her since my first visit she friendly and kind and makes you feel sooo comfortable (so does her staff). I will be sticking to my PCP for the long haul!
They are all amazing here.
She is an amazing Doctor. She will definately be my new PC! Very thorough and easy to talk to. Very happy with my experience!
Dr. Yolanda Tun-Chiong is a great doctor. She was a few minutes late for my appointment but I understand why. She took the time to listen to my concerns and questions during my appointment. I never felt rushed and she was very thorough. Her office is clean and professional. I definitely recommend her!
She's fantastic, personable, knowledgable - she took a lot of time and care with me and I never felt rushed. Her staff was very friendly and the office was pristine.
She is one of the friendliest, most humane, sympathetic doctors I have ever encountered. You feel no embarrassment discussing uncomfortable conditions, and she never makes you feel rushed and is very attentive to any needs, pains, or conditions you inquire about.
Knowledgeable, thorough, patient, and friendly -- I wasn't rushed and felt very comfortable with Dr. Tun-Chiong. I was impressed and made an easy decision to make her my permanent internal medicine doctor. Her staff was also professional and efficient. I was seen within 15 minutes of checking in on a Friday morning appointment. I also appreciate that she's online which makes it easier to communicate with her and be proactive about my health.
I have seen Dr Tun-Chiong a few times and have been more than happy with both her office staff and her care. She was not only extremely knowledgeable but she had a great bedside manner and went above and beyond for me. She called me personally to discuss lab results and provided me with a username/password to have access to lab results, be able to email the doctor, and make appointments. I originally saw Dr. Tun-Chiong as my GYN doctor but was so impressed I have taken her on as my primary care doctor. Highly recommended!
Great Staff, very Professional And Courteous.
She is great - wonderful doctor.
Yolanda Tun-Chiong is phenomenal. I switched over to her as my primary physician a month ago because I was having such a terrible experience with my last doctor, Dr Melissa Chan at 70 Bowery. Dr. Tun-Chiong is warm, and thinks of things that wouldn't occur to me. At my annual she proposed to test me for vitamin deficiency because I told her I don't eat meat and for a condition that runs in my family. Spent a ton of time with me and answered all my questions. And her medical and office assistants are on top of their game. In the past, I've had medical assistants who are rude, ignorant, and unprofessional--but Dr. Tun-Chiong's are sweet and efficient. Great doctor and great office!
She is really an excellent doctor and due to her popularity. It's hard to book an appointment with her if you have emergency. But her physician assistant is as wonderful as well. Really highly recommended.
Kind and efficient staff, lovely and comfortable office, and was well taken care of by Dr. Tun-Chiong
My visit was wonderfull as always!
After telling me she was pretty certain I did NOT have something I thought I had, she let me make the final decision on having a blood test -- rather than telling me I didn't need it -- just to put my mind at ease. She explained things to me very thoroughly, and clearly wanted me to be as informed as possible.
Very thorough, lovely staff and space.
She took her time to listen. Like really listen.
Doctor Tun-Chiong was very nice and knowledgable and she seemed very genuinely concerned. The office is very modern and CLEAN. The staff was great as well. I'd definitely recommend this doctor and her practice.
It was a hectic crazy day there, lots of walk-ins and i had to wait an hour an 40 mins even though i had an appt. I liked the doctor though and got what i needed
I loved her! She is very welcoming. Usually I am not a big fan of my yearly appointments, but she made it so much better than my typical uncomfortable experience. She also was very helpful when I had to update my shots for school.
She was very nice and friendly which made my experience a lot more comfortable. I also loved the office. It was very nice and clean. Good environment. I also really liked the staff as well. Over all a very nice facility. And I really liked Dr. Tun-Choing. She is my new primary care physician.
Great Doctor and is highly recomended.
Dr Tun-Chiong is one of the best doctors I have ever had. I hate going to the doctors in the first place, but I'm a lot more likely to go see her because shes been so great to me. I would highly recommend her!!
Dr. Yolanda is amazing. I have recommended many friends to go see her, and she continues to go above and beyond any other doctor I have ever seen.
Absolutely hands down the best doctor I have ever had. I've recommended her to so many friends because of her incredible bedside manner, professionalism, and warmth. She makes sure that I have all of my questions answered, no matter how silly they may seem, and frequently goes the extra step including making appointments with specialists on my behalf.
Excellent as usual!
she was very concientous to know your whole health history,i didnt feel rushed whatsoever , very thorough and caring , gave great advice for my well being , genuinely wants you to be the best you can be !
She is wonderful! Very thorough and knowledgable
I used to loathe going to the doctor's office. Dr. Yolanda Tun-Chiong changed that-- she's so easy to talk to, can answer questions about anything related to health I have, personally follows up with me, best doctor I've had the good fortune of working with.
Great - an excellent health care professional. I'll be going back.
Hesitant to say how much I liked Dr. Tun-Chiong as I don't want her schedule to get so busy that I can't make an appointment anymore! She's great-- thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and supportive. She also uses a very helpful online patient portal to keep things organized and to send messages about test results etc. What a relief to have finally found a doctor I want to stick with.
Yolanda is an amazing doctor. I found her via ZocDoc from all of her outstanding reviews. I went to her with a less-than-comfortable question, and she made me feel so at ease! I can't wait to go back to her in the future. Best doctor I've ever been to! I had to wait for nearly an hour, but everyone was apologetic about it and I could tell that it rarely happens.
Doctor Tun-Chiong was very accommodating and made me feel very comfortable.
She is great. Both Dr and staff were very professional and friendly. Office waery clean and comfortable. Dr took her time and sked lots of questions.. she is great!!!!
I couldn't have asked for a more suitable Dr. She was very engaged and provided very informative suggestions and views... All in all an A+ in my book.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is wonderful. She took her time, really listened, and made me feel comfortable. I am so glad to have her as my new primary care doc.
It is always amazing to visit Doctor Chiong, She is very professional,respectful,and very knowledgeable.
She was very nice and easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
She was amazing---so thorough. She really listened and was very personable. I'd definitely recommend her to my friends and family. The staff was also very helpful and nice. And the offices were nice and clean.
She has been my doctor for 5 years. She is everything you want in a doctor-- smart, able, communicative, and kind.
Best doctor hands down. From the moment I met her she made me feel comfortable and able to speak to her openly about any concerns. Simply the best!
I felt very comfortable and like she genuinely cared about my questions and my health. It was a great experience. I did not feel rushed or looked over at all.
She was very friendly, answered all of my questions and talked me through my diagnosis.
Highly recommended, this was the most positive experience I've had seeing a doctor in years.
She is really great and attentive. The staff is very nice. I have been looking for a new doctor for a long time and i think i have found her!
She is amazing! Such a relief to find someone who cares and takes their time with you. Larissa, who is the physician assistant is great, too. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.
I agree with most others here. Speaking with this doctor was sooo much more of a friendly experience than any others that I have EVER gone to! She made me feel so comfortable! And she was MUCH more informative than pretty much any doctor I've ever been to see. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
She was fantastic. Apologized for making me wait for 10 minutes! Spent a lot of time talking with me. Very down-to-earth in her advice and approach. Her tone was very conversational---which is exactly right for me. I felt like I was in very good hands.
Dr. Tun-Chiong was amazing. Very friendly and easy to talk to. She explained what she was doing very clearly and was detailed in describing certain things I wasn't aware of. The entire office seemed really kind and one assistant (might not be the right term), Angela, was particularly great. I look forward to making regular visits.
I felt very comfortable during my visit w/ Dr. tun Chiong she was very attentive to details, I went for a pap smear and this is not my first pap smear nonetheless she explained every steps of it and made me feel comfortable about it. i had concern with a mole on my thigh, and i forgot to mention it and when I said she was attentive to details she saw it and mentioned it and asked me about it. My wait was about 20 minutes, the only thing is her schedule is packed and sometimes it might be hard if you need to see her asap. However, I will definetely recommend her for my friends and family, plus you can check your results online! I love that i dont have to schedule another visit for results like most doctors do even though the results are normal, so Kudos for Dr. Tun Chiong's team!
I actually look forward to my visits to see my doctor now. Dr. Tun-Chiong took her time with me and made me feel comfortable, not rushed. She is extremely personable and easy to speak to. The staff is highly professional and welcoming as well.
I love this doctor. She is amazing and I love coming to her. She is very professional and so is her whole staff.
Easy to talk to.
Dr. Tun-Chiong seemed more like an older sister figure than a doctor. She was extremely friendly, thorough, and made me feel comfortable before having my pap done. Highly recommended!
She was very easy-going, patient, and professional; I liked that she didn't try to rush me out of the office, despite my smattering of questions.
She's still the best!
Personable, informative, upbeat bedside manner. Gentle yet thorough exam. Real talk. Such a great experience, from the front desk to the exam room!
Dr. Tun Chiong went above and beyond for me and my wife. She is personable, caring, thorough, and informative.
She is very informative without being stuffy, and has been very helpful while I have been transitioning across the country. I recommend her to anyone pregnant, or trying not to be.
Awesome as always. She is the sweetest doctor I have ever encountered and made me feel incredibly comfortable and taken care of. She had quite a few patients waiting for her but I never felt rushed or like I wasn't being listened to. I recommend her to all my friends.
She is the best doctor
Dr. Yolanda Tun-Chiong is very caring and has a fantastic bedside manner. More importantly, she is also very accurate in her diagnoses. I've had other primary care doctors who have taken years to properly assess what has taken her minutes. She's insightful and has a gift for medicine, definitely go to her!!
very easy to communicate and informative
She was one of the best Dr.'s I've seen in NY. She is very thoughtful and caring and doesn't make you feel like she's in a rush to see other patients.
Finally! Here is the doctor that approaches your health as a co-worker, not a boss. She listens, is thoughtful, and knows her stuff better than the cold, snobbish doctors I've seen in the past. Dr. Tun-Chiong is a real person and a real professional.
Dr. Yolanda was really thorough and she gives you a heads up on what she does before doing it. Office is extremely efficient.
Shows an interest in the patient's health, unlike most doctors who just see you and don't really care to get involved or help the patient out anymore than for the purpose of the visit.
Very friendly and caring
Very personable and knowledgable - I highly recommend Dr. Tung-Chiong!
She is the kind of doctor you can really talk to. She is very professional. The office staff was also well rounded and the place is welcoming and clean.
She is the BEST primary care doctor I have EVER had. She really cares about her patients and goes out of her way to take care of them.
Dr.Yolanda is a very caring doctor. I am a patient of hers for four years now and I wouldn't go anywhere else. She takes the time to evaluate and listen to any of your concerns. Over all ,she is one of the best!
Great. She was professional and attentive and made me feel very comfortable. The office as a whole was welcoming and clean.
She was great - interested in what I was thinking and wanting to know if I had any questions.
She is Awesome!!! Dr. Tun-Chiong made sure that she connected with me which made me feel comfortable. Im booking my annual physical now.
Best doctor experience in years! Really excellent.
I appreciate the fact that she took the time to explain in detail the questions that I asked. she and her staff are very friendly and they don't make you wait a long time. The office is kept very well also.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is great- she's warm, patient, knowledgeable, and takes time to address all your questions. I would highly recommend her.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is one of my favorite doctors I have visited. I scheduled an appointment for an annual gynecological exam-- her bedside manner was exceptional, it was far less awkward than other such visits have been. She was quick and efficient. Everyone who works in the office is lovely. She answered all of my questions as if I were there for a visit with a primary care physician. The wait time was longer than expected, but she immediately apologized and explained the cause for the delay-- hard to argue with a baby who had to be rushed to the hospital.I definitely recommend this physician.
Dr. Tun-Chiong was extremely helpful and thorough. She asked a lot of questions and really took the time to listen to what I had to say. She covered all of her bases. The office is also very clean and sleek looking.
She is AWESOME. She is knowledgeable and down to earth. I loved her easy demeanor. Will definitely continue seeing her!
I'm absolutely thrilled with Dr. Yolanda Tun-Chiong. She's very approachable, so it's easy to be upfront about your medical issues. LGBT friendly too! The office is super organized and has an online portal that you can access your records and put in requests for prescription refills from. Absolutely five stars. I've already recommended Dr. Tun-Chiong to a number of my friends.
Great experience! Timely, friendly, thorough physician.
Really had a positive experience. Very rare these days. Felt comforfable and able to be ooen. Staff and office was state of the art and very nice!
Dr. Tun-Chiong is always a pleasure to see. She makes me feel so comfortable with every situation, discussing anything at all, and she always gives advice like she is your friend and doctor at the same time. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, honest and caring doctor.
Very sweet woman. She spends a lot of time with you and is very thorough. Has a more holistic approach than the regular doctor.
Dr. Tun-Chiong was very professional and well informed, but more importantly, she was very easy to talk to. I felt all my concerns were addressed and I was treated like a person rather than a clinical scenario. I did have to wait past my appointment time although I think this was an operational exception for the office. The office staff were also extremely friendly and efficient. This was as pleasant as a visit to the doctor's office can get.
Absolutly loved her! Straight to the point, very informative and detailed. She also has a welcoming personality and makes you feel comfortable.
Excellent listener. Personable, thoughtful, and calm.
In a long and grueling journey to find a doctor who doesn't rush you out after waiting over an hour, I was recommended to Dr.Tun-Chiong. Not exactly a hop skip and jump away from my home in south brooklyn, but she is worth the commute. She has now become my family doctor after recommending her to my fiance as well. She is an absolute blessing.
She was great - thorough and thoughtful. The staff were also very nice and efficient.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is great! She was really friendly and took the time to talk to get to know me some before listening to my medical complaints. She is great!
Dr Y. Tun-chiong was great. She very nice, professional, and very detail oriented. Not like other doctors, she sits down and explains thing to you about your health. She takes good care of her patients!
This was my first Gyno visit and Dr. Tun-Chiong made me feel at ease. She was very nice and made me feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone.
Dr Tun-Choing, is a thorough, intelligent, and a personable doctor. This has been my best experience with a doctor so far. I feel confident in her abilities and the premises were clean and comfortable with short wait times.
I was skeptical, having found Dr. Yolanda online, but she was great! I wish there was a way to write this and not have it sound like a corny review. Ok. That being said, she is one of the best doctors i have seen my whole life. So happy to have found her in NYC where there are also so many bad practices. Thank you Dr. Yolanda Tun-Chiong!
she noticed things that i didn't mention, that had gone unattended by other doctors, despite communication. i am so impressed by her astute sensitivity.
Fantastic doctor and staff. I will be using her for all my future appointments!
I really like Dr. Tun-Chiong. Even though the wait is sometimes a little long, its because she does not rush a visit with you, so it is worth the service.
Dr. Tun-Chiong made me feel so at ease. She took time to discuss options with me, and gave me some great recs for specialists. I absolutely loved her!
It was wonderful. Everyone was helpful, sweet, understanding and patient.
awful customer service
She's awesome! Been seeing her for the last few years and totally trust her.
Great, clean office and friendly staff. I wish I found her sooner!
She is a very friendly doctor. She was very punctual. If you have appointment, that's great. But take consideration, if you were suddenly ill, you won't be able to see her right away unless you are willing to wait in between her appointment...and that means you would wait for whole day. But overall, the office experience was great.
she was wonderful very understanding and attending.she made me feel as if she new me from before and took good care of me.
Excellent doctor!
She was really great! Personable and easy to talk to her. I highly recommend her!
super. friendly. professional. she really pays attention. explains things. and then takes care of them. as they used to say about DiMaggio, she "makes it look easy." also, her staff is very courteous and efficient. how many superlatives you got?
Dr. Tun-Chiong is wonderful! After I moved to New York, I had looked for a new primary care doctor for a while and I am so glad I found her! She always listens patiently; you never feel rushed. She is very knowledgeable about treatment options. Your records are kept track of electronically and you can access these at any time through their patient portal. Her staff is also very nice; if it's an urgent matter, call and they can work you in even if they're all booked. The waiting room is very clean. They even have free wifi!
She was a full care doctor despite the fact I just went in for an ob-gyn appt. I will be making her my consistent doctor!
awsome just awsome! determined to fix my problems and findout whats wrong.
Dr. Yolanda Tun-Chiong is very helpful, professional, and informative. She makes the visit very comfortable and offered a lot of advice on any inquiries/worries I had. Will definitely be visiting her regularly.
She is amazing. Appointments with her are as comfortable as talking to a good friend, she's a great listener and does a very thorough job.
Yolanda was very personable and demonstrated her concern of my health by asking several questions and took the time to explain various items.
Excellent as usual. Highly recommend this doctor.
Amazing doctor! Amazing office staff! So nice, understanding, and easy to talk to. Definitely recommend!
Dr. Tun-Chiong is very warm and friendly. It was my first time getting a GYN exam and she put me at ease. The three other staff members I interacted with were also friendly and professional. Besides the 45 min wait, this doctor and office are great.
Dr. Tun-chiong, Was great!!!! I've had very bad experiences with OBGYN's I've been yelled at, dismissed, and treated rudely so bedside manor was of utmost importance when looking for a new doctor. She is very friendly, and we talked through the whole exam. She asks a lot of questions,and is very thorough. The office was a little busy so I was shown to an exam room got blood pressure taken spoke to a nurse about medical history, changed, but then had to wait about 15 min before I saw the doctor. I would have liked it if I saw her a little faster but the exam went quick.
She is the best doc ever! Bedside manner is perfect! She's friendly and genuine. She doesnt make me feel like a patient but more like im her own flesh and blood. She really cares and thats hard to find in nyc. She's very knowledgeable and takes the time out to explain things; I've never felt rushed at my appointments. I just couldn't ask for a better doctor. Not going anywhere else anytime soon! The office is very very clean and staff are friendly too.
Dr. Yolanda continues to provide me with best experience I had with a doctor. Having her as my doctor has improved my life. She is amazing.
Yolanda made me feel very comfortable and was very helpful in answering my many questions. Would definitely recommend.
It's easy to miss the doctor's office in an older, non descript building in Chinatown. However, inside the doctor's office is clean, modern and nice. Everyone is friendly. I felt very comfortable talking to Yolanda even though my medical problems are gross/embarassing to say the least. She did a very comprehensive look into my family history and lifestyle and seemed determined to get to the bottom of it. She seemed like she genuinely cared about me feeling better
Very helpful with information and very professional ..
Dr Tun-Chiong was wonderful. She immediately made me very comfortable and was a great help. The office is also very nice. I would definitely recommend her.
I appreciate her sensitivity and caring manner.
Great doctor but long wait.
As always, great visit, excellent doctor. She's very attentive to my needs and concerns.
Could not recommend more highly! Great looking office with friendly and personable staff. Dr Tun-Chiong was as nice and relatable as they come, incredibly helpful and attentive. I had a handful of unrelated questions and didn't feel rushed going through them.
She was very easy to talk to and knowledgeable. She made conversation so there was no awkwardness.
Dr. Tun Chiong is fantastic: she takes the time to listen, pays close attention and shows that she really cares. She has referred me to good specialists as well. She is definitely my best US doctor experience and I have lived here for over 12 years.
She's sincere and thorough.
She is very kind and has empathy. Very caring and took time with my care asking careful and detailed questions. She cared to get me better. She listened with care. I feel lucky I found her!
Excellent doctor, very professional and caring.
A wonderful and caring doctor who takes the time, listens well and is very professional, caring and soothing. Amazing, patient, and knows her stuff.
Very easy to talk to and took a comprehensive approach when she was learning about my medical history.
Awesome doctor and staff! Fantastic bedside manner, very friendly, attentive, personable, knowledgable and caring. I recommend her and the office as a whole to anyone.
I just switched to Yolanda and I am very happy with her. She listens, she's knowledgable and honest. I would definitely recommend her.
She's an excellent Doctor. She makes me feel so comfortable, she's personable and very caring. She'll be my primary physician for life!!!
She is absolutely the best physician that I've ever had.
I've been a patient of Dr. Tun-Chiong for years now and can't say enough great things about her. She makes you feel so at home and treats you like a friend. This is not just a business to her. Being a doctor is something she's extremely passionate about. My husband and I love her and know that you'll love her as well. She comes highly recommended.
Dr. Tun Chiong was very warm and welcoming. She was friendly and easy to talk to and very helpful. She made me feel comfortable and trusting of her.
Dr. Tun-Chiong was so knowledgeable and professional yet she made me feel so comfortable that it almost felt as though I was talking to a friend. I'm so glad to have found her, and would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a great general practitioner.
Love the doctor but her receptionists are rude and unfriendly.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is one of the best doctors I have ever had the privelege to see. She is so caring, understanding and informative and never makes you feel like you're just a number in a long list of patients. All of my friends use her regularly as their primary care physician and ob-gyn. It restores my faith in the medical profession to know that there are doctors like her out there.
The doctor was great but do not be late for your appointment because the wait is quite long if you are late.
Really nice and attentive.
I am very picky with my doctors, and have a very hard time finding really good ones. The last doctor I had who I trusted was my pediatrician, and I'm 28! Dr Tun-Chiong is sweet, very smart and knowledgable, extremely patient and thorough. I didn't feel in any way rushed, and she even drew my blood and gave me my flu shot! So nice to be given that level of attention and care. She's also familiar with and open to alternative medicine options, which is fantastic. Her staff are incredibly friendly, the office space is modern and comfortable - I really feel like I hit the jackpot. I have finally found my Primary Care doctor :)
The only doctor I've seen that I actually like and instantly felt comfortable
Dr. Tun Chiong was lovely and I will definitely be coming back! Highly recommended.
She is soooo nice. She takes her time with you and discusses your health as it relates to your lifestyle. She made me feel comfortable. The office staff and medical assistants are really nice too.
Yolanda and Urban medical are two great combinations. First of all she is extremely thorough. Upon seeing her for the first time about my acne she requested that I get a blood test to review my stats. She got back to me promptly by calling first and then sending an email through their email service. Since then, I have seen her twice more and she has been very flexible about scheduling and willing to take the time to discuss any issues.
I'm so glad I found Dr. Tun-Chiong. I wanted a female PCP and she has to be the best doctor I have seen. I would recommend this doctor one million times over. She made me feel right at home like I was talking to a friend who was also my doctor, She didn't cut any corners and made me feel sooo comfortable!
Dr. Tun-Chiong is the ONLY primary care physician who has really listened to me and approached my symptoms in a thoughtful, caring manner. I am so grateful that I found her and that I have a doctor in my corner. I highly, highly recommend dropping your doc and going to see her!
Dr. Tun-Chiong is the best doctor I've ever had. She spends time with me, is personable, and I trust her opinion. so often I feel rushed when I go to the doctor, but Dr. Tun-Chiong gives me 100% of her attention.
she's so nice!
Dr. Tun-Chiong was personable, knowledgable about my health needs, and had a friendly and helpful office staff. My first visit was a very pleasant one. I would certainly recommend her.
Very personable! I actually enjoyed my time at the doctor's office.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is attentive and gives you the time you need, she does not rush the visit.
Friendly and helpful staff in a calm, laid-back atmosphere.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is friendly, helpful and really goes the extra mile to make sure you are taken care of. The office has an online portal for exchanging email, prescription refill requests, test results & etc. Her staff are courteous and helpful as well, and have squeezed me in when I've needed an urgent appointment. I'd recommend her to anyone.
Ive never felt so comfortable with a doctor before. Dr. Tun-Chiong did a great job making me feel at ease for my first papsmear in awhile! Also gave me some great general advice regarding my health. Im so glad I switched doctors.
The time waiting was atypical, as there were technical issues in the office. Dr. Tun-Chiong's professionalism and knowledge is above par and I feel confident in her care. The office staff as well is responsive and efficient.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is a warm and professional doctor. She is thorough and makes it easy for her patients to ask questions or state any concerns. I am grateful to have found such a helpful medical provider.
She's a fantastic doctor - I am definitely going back.
Thoughtful, communicative, wise. What a great interaction we had.
Dr Tun-Chiong is attentive and genuinely cares for her patients. She's also very personable and easy to talk to - a big plus for me. I highly recommend her.
Great doctor. Very Attentive. Will recommend.
Very nice and very professional. Highly recommended!
Dr. Tun-Chiong is knowledgeable, amiable, thorough, and sweet. I have an extreme aversion to needles, but I went in for a physical and blood test yesterday and Dr. Tun-Chiong was so gentle, funny, and calming that I'm not worried about next year's physical.
She is a wonderful, personable, and caring doctor.
Thorough, interested, accommodating, great bedside manner. I had a physical and a need to get a deep splinter out, and all of that was as comfortable as it could've been. Brand-new office is great. Staff was friendly, punctual, helpful.
I really like Dr. Tun-Chiong. Not only do I get seen within 10 minutes of arriving at the office, I also never have a problem getting in for an urgent issue. She is very easy to talk too, explains everything in plain English so I understand what's going on and listens to every little ailment, even if it's nothing to worry about. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring and super cool doctor!
Dr Tun-Chiong is very courteous, knowledgeable, and caring. She's a great listener and very helpful.
Dr. Tun-Chiong was able to present me with multiple treatment options in one appointment--my last doctor couldn't do it in months with tons of tests. Dr. Tun-Chiong is always pleasant!
This was my 2nd appt with her and her staff. I work in the medical field and can not say enough about how wonderful they are! Betty, the M.A. is very personable and thorough, everyone is polite and efficient, and Dr. Tun-Chiong is down to earth, caring, has a great sense of humor, and knows her stuff. Most importantly, she is queer aware/friendly. During my physical, she didn't assume that I engaged in heterosexual activity. Finally a doctor who is in touch with reality! As well, I don't feel rushed nor unheard during my visits with her. All in all she's fabulous!
Dr. Tun-Chiong was quick and thorough -- rare combination. Very personable, great listener, and placed my fears at ease. Definitely will re-visit Dr. Tun-Chiong as my PCP.
This was the best PCP appointment I've had. I highly recommend Dr. Tun-Chiong. She spent more than ample time in the room with me and was very thorough in answering any questions I had. There wasn't the sense of rush that you normally experience with doctors. Even on my first time meeting Dr. Tun-Chiong I felt comfortable asking her all questions. I highly recommend this doctor.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is wonderful! I've had so many bad experiences with doctors who don't listen, don't explain anything, and make you feel like you're wasting their time. Dr. Tun-Chiong is the opposite of all of that- she was extremely easy to talk to, and made me feel so comfortable I almost forgot I was at a doctor's office. She was patient, thorough, proactive, and seemed genuinely interested in my well-being. What a refreshing change! I had a bit of a long wait before I saw her, but it seemed to be due to circumstances out of her and the office staff's control, so I didn't mind. I also really appreciated the friendliness of the office staff. I'll definitely be using Dr. Tun-Chiong as my primary care physician and gynecologist from now on.
Loved Doctor Tun-Chiong! She's extremely easy to talk to and made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I will definitely go back. Just remember the office doesn't take cards, so bring your checkbook/cash for the copay.
waited less than 10 minutes to be called in. Dr. Tun-Chiong is very pleasant, was very throrough asking about family and personal history, etc. She explained what tests she was ordering and why. I did not feel rushed at all. She is open Saturdays :)
Wonderful Experience. Highly Recommended!
Yolanda was easy to talk to and very professional. She saw me right away, and was able to adjust to my needs accordingly. I would recommend her as a gyn and as a primary care doctor. It was definitely an awesome experience.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is a kind doctor & has a very caring bedside manner. She made me feel as comfortable as possible. Still trying to diagnose my problem, but I definitely won't dread going back to her office like I do with most doctors. I highly recommend her.
She was great!
Totally awesome doctor. Been a little tough getting appointments lately.
Very understanding and easy to talk to.
She was extremely personable and gave me a lot of information. Very nice.
Just an FYI, they do not take credit cards - cash or check only. That wasn't a big deal for my copay, but I could see that being a problem if you're uninsured. However, Dr. Tun-Chiong is so great, it is easily worth remembering cash. I almost never feel comfortable with doctors but I instantly felt very relaxed with her. She listens well and also clearly explains her rationale for treatment. I think I've finally found my doctor in New York!
absolutely wonderful.
She's really nice and personable. I felt very comfortable talking to her and asking questions. I felt like she was really listening to me. She answered all my questions and explained everything clearly. She also suggested against uneccessary lab tests which would be expensive since I'm uninsured. I really appreciated this as a lot of Dr.s will run every test there is and leave you with an enormous bill. Highly recommended! :)
Both the physician and her medical staff are friendly and efficient. I was greeted right away, the medical assistant had a great sense of humour, as did the physician, they both were sensitive and well informed. I highly recommend her.
Yolanda is really great. I really felt that when I left her office I had set in motion a process to discover what is at the root of my symptoms. She even got me in to see another doctor in the office who was a specialist while I was there. A really great experience overall.
she is a great doctor made me feel comfortable but still acted professionally and was willing to talk to me about any questions or issues that i had and give me great advice without making me feel judged. highly recommend her
Very personable and friendly, like talking to a friend. She explained everything clearly and really took time to let me ask anything I want. A fantastic doctor!!
I had a general physical with Dr. Tun-Chiong as well as a bunch of questions concerning my current health. She was great! Very inviting and friendly and open about giving great health and wellness advice. It was perhaps one of the more comfortable experiences I've had with a doctor, almost like having coffee with your girlfriend. I highly recommend her.
Great. She's very personable and friendly and was extremely helpful.
Gave me a call and said if I could come by right now she could see me right away, even before my appointment. When I came by about 15min later, I actually had to wait for about 30 min, but still I would highly recommend Dr. Tun-Chiong.
best ever
Dr. Tun-Chiong is really thorough and great. I'm glad I found her.
Very caring. I really like her. She's our primary doctor (me and my husband) at the same time my Gynecologist.
Very nice and excellent Dr
Even though the wait was a bit longer than I would have liked, the doctor was great. She was very present and helpful. I would recommend her.
Very friendly and patient.
After reading a great review of Dr. Yolanda, I was encouraged to give her a try. She is even more wonderful than I thought she'd be. She really practices holistic health care, and I would recommend her readily to anyone. Love her!
She is super nice and very knowledgeable. Doesn't make you feel rushed or embarrassed. More than happy to explain in detail and answer all my questions.
Dr. Tun-Chiong is a really wonderful doctor. She listened to all of my concerns and treated me like a friend. I have definitely found my primary care doctor!
i moved to the nyc 3 years ago and Dr Yolanda is the first dr that i have been comfortable with and plan on returning too. She didnt rush me out of her office and diagnoised a problem that no other doctor had found before. I am very happy to have found her
Dr. Tun-Choing was excellent. She listens, asks the right questions and practices the type of medicine that seems to be out of fashion these days. The visit took the time it should have because she didn't feel the need to usher me in and out quickly. I highly recommend Dr. Tun-Choing.
Dr. Tun-Chiong was awesome! She is extremely professional, personable, thorough and made my visit a pleasant one. I will definitely be going back to her.
Very patient, knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend this doctor.

Firefighters Put Quick Stop to Grafton, Vermont House Fire
Firefighters from the Grafton, Vermont Fire Department responded to a house fire on Townshend-Grafton Road in Grafton, Wednesday afternoon, April 21, 2004.
The fire, which consumed a small split-level ranch house, was discovered when a motorist saw flames and stopped at a neighbor's house to alert authorities. The neighbor then grabbed a garden house and ran to the house. The neighbor used the garden hose to knock down fire running up the outside wall of the house so that he could open the front door, allowing 2 dogs and a cat to escape unharmed.
When firefighters arrived, fire was blowing through the roof of the home.
Mutual aid for both pumpers and tankers was called from Townshend, Bellows Falls, Saxtons River, and Walpole, N.H. Firefighting efforts were hampered by strong winds which rekindled fires as quickly as they were extinguished.
The fire was placed under control after approximately 1 hour, with companies staying through the early evening for overhaul.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Greeter Directress: Heather McIntosh, email@example.com
Leading our worship is a privilege and honor. Accordingly, the bishop has authorized our rector to prayerfully license laymen to serve in the "subdiaconate" — that is, as subdeacons — acolytes and/or layreaders. Potential layreaders may volunteer or the rector/associate rector may recruit them. All layreaders must be confirmed communicants in good standing and licensed by the rector, who reviews each license annually.
The lay role in the conducting worship dates back to the ancient Church. A truly meaningful ministry, this is a very special and integral part of parish spiritual life and is not to be taken lightly, but as a calling and service to our Lord. Each altar server, whether layreader or acolyte must be a man of solid Christian belief and action, committed to service –especially regular worship and parish life. In ancient days, it took years of preparation before a man was allowed to participate in Divine worship at the altar.
Layreaders descend from an ancient order of clerics in minor orders and are tasked with assisting the clergy in Holy Communion, administering alms basins for offerings, reading the Epistle in Holy Communion, conducting worship as Psalmist in the offices, officiating in Morning or Evening Prayer, and assisting in Litany, Baptism, or Funeral Offices, as needed, as well as in other special services, such as the Blessing and Procession of the Paschal Candle or the Procession of the Palms at Palm Sunday. Together with the acolytes, they form a vital spiritual partnership to conduct our ancient liturgical rites and ceremonies in accordance with the canons of the Church and meet a real need for the parish to maintain a full schedule of worship services. In those rare times when no clergy are available, layreaders may, with the rector's approval, read a sermon written by licensed clergy.

The original Point Loma Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located on the Point Loma peninsula at the mouth of San Diego Bay in San Diego, California. It is situated in the Cabrillo National Monument. It is no longer in operation as a lighthouse but is open to the public as a museum. It is sometimes erroneously called the "Old Spanish Lighthouse",[4] but in fact it was not built during San Diego's Spanish or Mexican eras; it was built in 1855 by the United States government after California's admission as a state.[5]
On September 28, 1850, just 19 days after admitting California to the Union, Congress appropriated $90,000 to construct lighthouses along the California coast. A second appropriation of $59,434 was made in 1854 to complete the job. Lighthouses were designated for Alcatraz Island, Point Conception, Battery Point, Farallon Island, Point Pinos and Point Loma.
A site was chosen in 1851 near the summit of Point Loma. The contract was given to the Washington, D.C. company Gibbon and Kelley. The local supervisor was William J. Timanus.
Construction was begun in April 1854, when a shipment of materials arrived from San Francisco. The lantern and lens had to be ordered from Paris and arrived in August 1855. The lighthouse was completed by October 1855 and was lighted for the first time at sunset November 15, 1855. It was designated light number 355, of the Twelfth United States Lighthouse District.[6]
When the lighthouse was constructed, an additional small structure was built next to it. This building was originally used as a storehouse for oil, wood, and other supplies. However in 1875 part of it was converted into a two-room apartment for the assistant lighthouse keeper. It was built with rough lumber and the inside was lined with cloth and paper, since cracks would frequently develop in the walls. This thin lining was later replaced with tongue and groove boards. More repairs must have been made in 1880 for the structure was still being used as a living space for the assistant. [7] Today this building has been changed once again, and now serves as a museum. It holds the original lens of the New Point Loma lighthouse as well as maps and more information about Point Loma and its history.[8]
While in operation the lighthouse had the highest elevation of any lighthouse in the United States.[9] However, the location on top of a 400-foot cliff meant that fog and low clouds often obscured the light from the view of ships. On foggy nights the lighthouse keeper would sometimes discharge a shotgun to warn ships away. On March 23, 1891, the flame was permanently extinguished and the light was replaced by the New Point Loma lighthouse at a lower elevation.
The names of the lighthouse keepers were: James P. Keating (1854 – 1859), H. C. Wiley (1859), J. N. Covarrubias (1859 – 1860), Joseph Renier (1860), James P. Keating (1860 – 1861), W. C. Price (1861 – 1867), J. D. Jenkins (1867 – 1871), Enos A. Wall (1871 – 1872), James J. Ferra (1872 – 1873), Robert D. Israel (1873 – 1891).[9]
In 1984, the light was re-lit by the National Park Service for the first time in 93 years, in celebration of the site's 130th birthday. More than 3,000 people attended the celebration, including more than 100 descendants of former lighthouse keepers Robert and Maria Israel.[10]
Robert Israel[edit]
San Diego pioneer Robert Decatur Israel was lighthouse keeper for the longest period of time, 18 years. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on March 23, 1826. His father was described as Pennsylvania Dutch and mother as Scotch-Irish. He wasn't Jewish, but because of his surname many people today mistakenly assume that he was. He had fought in the Mexican-American War, including the famous Battle of Chapultepec. He and a young Mexican bride, Marie Arcadia Alipas, were married by a priest in 1852 at the Casa de Estudillo in Old Town. They had four children: Henry Clay Israel, Joseph Perry Israel; Robert Lincoln Israel, and a second Joseph Perry Israel, born after his older brother had died.
Israel was appointed assistant lighthouse keeper in 1871 and promoted to lighthouse keeper in 1874. His wife Maria was the assistant keeper, like most wives of lighthouse keepers. Their family lived alone on the Point, making sure that the lighthouse was illuminated each night. The Israels lived and worked on Point Loma for 18 years, where they watched their children and grandchildren grow up. One of the their grandsons was born at the lighthouse.
Because of the fog, another lighthouse was built closer to the Pacific Ocean shore line, in the area adjoining Cabrillo National Monument now occupied by a U.S. Coast Guard Station. On March 23, 1891 the old light was extinguished and the new one lit.[11] Israel took over the new location but was dismissed as the lighthouse keeper in 1892. He died at age 81 on January 12, 1908. He is buried at the Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. His grave 74 in section 75 is marked by a stone with a Christian cross. Some of his descendants now serve as volunteer re-enactors at the lighthouse.[10]
Life at the lighthouse[edit]
The Old Point Loma Lighthouse was not just the housing for a light; it was also the home of the people who took care of the light. The keepers and their families lived in the lighthouse. Visitors can now view some of the rooms to see what their life was like. The lighthouse was a bustling family home. The Israel family, including their three surviving boys and a niece, all grew up there. They gardened, kept horses, and raised chickens, pigs and goats. The children rowed across the bay to Old Town each day for school. People from town would sometimes drive by horse and buggy over a dirt road (now Catalina Boulevard) to picnic and visit the lighthouse and its keepers.[10]
After deactivation[edit]
After the lighthouse was deactivated it fell into disrepair. In 1913, it was proposed to tear down the dilapidated lighthouse and replace it with a monumental statue of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo. The statue was never made, but to accommodate it, one-half acre around the lighthouse was set aside as Cabrillo National Monument by Presidential Proclamation. Cabrillo National Monument was turned over to the National Park Service in 1933. By 1935 the metal lantern room had been rebuilt and the lighthouse restored to its original condition. A concessionaire lived in the lighthouse, offering tours of the building and operating a tea room in the southern room on the main floor.
With the outbreak of war in 1941, the lighthouse was painted camouflage green and was used as a signal tower to direct ships into San Diego Harbor. After the war the lighthouse was returned to the National Park Service. During the 1980s it was restored and filled with period furnishings to resemble its appearance when the Israel family lived there. In 2003-2004 the surrounding area was also restored to a more authentic look, including native plants, a vegetable garden, and a water catchment system. The lantern room currently houses the third-order lens from the Mile Rocks Lighthouse.
The lighthouse today[edit]
Today the lighthouse is no longer in service but stands as a landmark and museum. Visitors may enter the lighthouse and view parts of the living quarters there. Visitors are sometimes greeted by volunteer historical re-enactors including "Captain Israel", a real historical figure who was lighthouse keeper from 1871 to 1892,[12] or "members of the crew" of Cabrillo's ship.
Although the tower of the lighthouse is normally closed off to the public, there are two days a year when it is open. These dates are August 25th, which is the National Park Service's Birthday, and November 15th, which is the Lighthouse's Anniversary.[13]

- Description written by Harmon Lougher, Chief Photographer's Mate, U. S. Coast Guard, sometime prior to 1973
"The long neck of land enclosing North San Diego Bay on the West side is known as Point Loma. The origin of the name comes from a legend of a flaxen haired little Russian girl, the sole survivor of a shipwreck, who was found wandering on shore. The local residents took her in and named her Loma and she grew up to become the cynosure of many ardent male eyes. A rejected suitor slew the girl and fled to the point where he met his rival on a narrow trail above the sea. A knife fight ensued and the men fell to their death on the rocks below. Legend has it that Point Loma was named after this girl. Actually the word 'Loma' in Portuguese means light." (NOTE: Mr. Lougher was mistaken about this. "Loma" is a Spanish word meaning "hill". The original name of the peninsula was "La Punta de la Loma de San Diego", meaning Hill Point of San Diego. This was later anglicized to Point Loma.[14])
"Old Point Loma Light—the first lighthouse to be erected in Southern California as distinguished from the present Point Loma Light—was constructed in 1851 and presently being preserved as a memorial. Not used for lighthouse purposes since 1891, the old tower, was set aside by President Wilson in 1913 as a national monument and is now cared for by the U.S. Park Service. The old tower was abandoned because it was situated 462 feet above the sea. At this unusual height, the light was often obscured by high fogs. A romantic error attributes Old Point Loma Light to Spanish origin. When it was built some old Spanish tiles were used in its cellar floorings. That is the full scope of its Latin ancestry. Talk has it that the Spanish had a beacon on Point Loma in 1701, but it has never been verified."
